Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen set to have another stiff competition

The competition between Hamilton and Max Verstappen was ranked among the best ever in F1’s history so far. And if they keep competing like this for a couple more years, it could be the greatest of all time.

Last year, the two were responsible for marking a tremendous surge in F1 fans worldwide. Though, Helmut Marko, in a recent interview, stated that Verstappen might shorten his career if he is forced to drive at such a level for more years.

So how long this rivalry will remain at its peak remains to be seen. But with Hamilton at the last patch of his career, it may not be extended.
